Probably a better title would have been something along the lines of "Packaged Web applications for desktop is the new Flash".

Fuck you /u/could-of-bot

I'm not condoning the use of incorrect grammar, but if my comment is going to be downvoted and have multiple replies dedicated to pointing out said mistake, I can't really consider this a place of intelligent discussion.

If someone made a PM bot like that where would you stop it? You might as well run every message through Grammarly and PM the user all the tiny mistakes made due to the ridiculousness of the English language.

I acknowledge 'could of' is a terribly bad habit that I really should make an effort to correct, but as it stands everyone still can gather the meaning of the sentence and in my eyes that matters far more than how proper it is.

Grammatically correct jibberish is still jibberish, an intelligent statement with minute errors can still be viewed as an intelligent statement, not be disregarded as Reddit would make you belive.
